| 1) We had several community developers join us for the first Great Falls Development Red Carpet Tour. Thank you to our co-hosts Great Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, Great Falls Association of Realtors, City of Great Falls, Great Falls Montana Tourism, Montana Facility Finance Authority, and the Urban Land Institute. Huge thanks to presenters from Cushing Terell, Janicki Industries, Touro University, and others who helped paint the picture of opportunity for housing and commercial development in Great Falls. Ready to start your project in Great Falls? Reach out to Jake At 1-406-403-4937 or [email protected]. 2) Applications are now being accepted for the Touro University FlexTime J.D. Program in Great Falls, MT! The hybrid program was designed to accommodate the schedules of students who need maximum flexibility to balance work, family, or other personal obligations. This innovative program is already being offered at Touro Law Center’s Long Island campus and their Cross River Campus in the heart of Manhattan in Times Square. The inaugural class in Montana will start in August 2027. 3) USDA Rural Development and GFDA hosted federal and state agencies, community leaders, and partners from across Montana at the University of Providence for the Montana Rural Impact Forum. Representatives from USDA, VA, EDA, HUD, SBA, HHS, Montana Department of Agriculture, Montana Department of Commerce, and the LOR Foundation shared funding opportunities, programs, and resources available to rural communities. Sessions focused on housing, healthcare, meat processing, Opportunity Zones, business development, and community capacity, followed by tours of local projects that demonstrated these partnerships in action. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped connect Montana communities with resources and partners to move projects forward. 4) Having Malmstrom Air Force Base and the Montana Air National Guard in our community is something we cannot take for granted. Defense missions and investment are competitive, which is why the Central Montana Defense Coalition works to keep our region engaged, represented, and ready for future opportunities. Thank you to the investors who understand the importance of this work and are helping fund it. Contact Jenn at 1-406-781-9499 or [email protected] to be part of the effort. |
